charity starts at home tbh.
Who knows what other interests they may have outside the party.
That should be considered too. Especially in light of the recent Cameron and and Hancock stories, although I appreciate they are not LD's.
It's got to the point now where I watched the news last night and they leaf with Boris opening lobbying enquiries and I thought to myself, so what is it you're trying hide this time Boris?
Rupert Murdoch as been lobbying for years. Where is the outrage.
My turn to agree with you.
For me Starmer lacks any sort of zeal, when he is caught out being 'angry'; by that I mean when he's looking lost or perplexed, we have to assume that it is 'anger' demonstrated in his style, but whatever he just accepts the problem. Starmer does not seem to have any real base within the party and that is fatal position for a Labour Party Leader, for internally he then becomes 'the opposite' to, rather than the 'alternative to'...!
Labour has roamed so far from its traditional roots we are now (seriously) facing the prospect of a Conservative MP for Hartlepool?
The fact that Labour's new heartland appears to be London is almost beyond belief, if the Tories ever get anywhere near fulfilling Boris's promise to 'level up' Labour is doomed and will consigned to the history books!
The Tories must be getting some funding behind Shawn Bailey's London mayoral campaign. We got personalised flyers through today, 95% of which was just bashing Sadie Khan predictably.
Sounds like the Every Party Except SNP strategy every election. Every flier is just references to why we can't let Sturgeon win. As far as party policies go they don't day much.
Be a bit weird if they were praising him.
not seen anything from any candidates.
given the lack of travel, and thus exposure to advertising, I expect there to be a really low turnout. I’m not sure who that would favour, probably Khan, as the other Candidates won’t have any name recognition.
Khan has been universally terrible, but I expect him to be re-elected.

Reminiscent of the Tories in 2019 GE.
What improvements do you think Shaun Bailey will bring?
I’ve not said he would bring any improvements.
What other candidates are there? I’ve no idea what policies he has, as I’ve said I’ve seen zero campaigning from anyone thus far.
When it comes to the London Mayor, I’ve no interest in what political affiliation the candidates have.
it’s interesting, in the GE, there’s not a chance I would have wanted Labour in power, but our local MP is labour, and very good, so I wanted her to keep her seat. I’d prefer London to have as much distance from central government as possible, but Khan cannot be trusted.
The autocorrect on my workphone is a fecking nightmare.EDIT: I wasn't expecting them to not bash, but to maybe elaborate on their own policies a bit rather than just slag off Khan.
Khan tries to keep tube and bus charges down at least- they went up a lot under Johnson. Not sure on cycle lanes tbh- some are ok, others very poorly thought out.
I don't really know that much about what he has or hasn't done tbh.
Bailey is a fecking idiot with his homeless folk should save £5k for a deposit comments.
No idea about the other candidates.
One of the big issues with Khan is trust as he was voted in on a promise not to increase travel charges, and then did…
the congestion charge and expansion of ULEZ are somewhat controversial, and adversely (will) affects poorer families. When he inevitably expands that further again, we will be paying £10-12 a day for older cars across most of London.
I’ll have to have a look at the other candidates, but I doubt any parties are interested in seriously challenging him.
It seemed more the government forcing an above inflation fare rise for the bailout.

The government's screwing over London should stop anyone voting for Bailey- eg tube fares, Johnson breaking yet more promises by not voting against third Heathrow runway, Hammersmith Bridge etc...
I haven't had a car for ages so not affected by congestion charge or ULEZ tbh.
Sleazy is as sleazy does...

How can she fecking post that with any sense of unbiased reporting! I used to think the criticism over her was over the top but her recent behaviour especially in the last election was disgusting.

As an aside, I wonder how many of those smugly patting themselves on the back today for sticking it to the football elites voted for Brexit or the Tories?

Laura K’s BBC article on PMQs is hilariously biased.
Seems like the true impact of the grift was felt by those who were promised it.

But if you look at Twitter she's mainly getting accused of being a leftie. Absolutely madballs.
I wish we had more reporters who asked questions like this...
love this.
would vote for him for points 13 alone. I want to play LOTR pinball again.
